I'm applying to an out-of-state graduate school to study elementary education. My school posted links to many scholarships, but it seems as an out-of-state, non-minority student I don't qualify for any of them. Many scholarships seem to have so many rules for who is qualified, I find it hard to get any match, even for scholarships designed for students studying my major. I found some Web sites listing scholarships, but they seem questionable: the Web sites send me spam all the time, 90% of the scholarships are in a contest format, and 75% require a video submission (make an advertisement for them and they might give you money).
When financial disasters strike, your only respite are online short term loans. High rates of interest might summon apprehension. However, granting loan, within such a short turn around, triggers such exorbitant rates of interest. There are some lenders who charge loan covenants as well as payment of interests. The loan covenants require certain conditions to be fulfilled. It has to be done by the borrower on demand of the lender. Very easily, the borrowers are fleeced by these lenders. Hence you need to be extremely careful or you might get cheated. Second way that you find the decent rate on online short term loans is to check the internet. You will definitely find various quotes and the rates offered by the different companies. It is YOU who has to compare and decide upon the best interest rate, the one that would suffice your immediate needs. Check the fine-print thoroughly before you invest to be aware of any hidden costs and regulations.
Yes, I know what you're talking about. I'm in the same boat as you. There's a publication called Foundation Grants to Individuals; you can get a copy online -- $20 for one month subscription. I'm considering it but don't know if it would be worth it. It might turn out to be like those scholarship sites you mentioned. This is indeed very discouraging.
